Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Thunder Bay, ON.

I work with men who are overwhelmed and stressed. They feel successful in the work they do, but they're finding that they don't have the capacity to manage life outside of work anymore. They feel like the demands of their relationship with a spouse or children is too much. Now, let's admit, they've never been good at talking about stuff. Talking about what's going on inside their head and expressing how they feel just isn't their strong suit. But they're not coping well. They avoid the stress by finding their own little place to unwind and keep a distance from everyone so they can get some peace for a minute (or hours). Let's try something different. I'm hear to listen.

Some level of stress and anxiety is likely to be a part of everyone's life at some time, and it helps to have someone to talk to. Strategies to minimize stress and cope with anxiety have proven effective for many. Counselling can help build on your own existing skills, wisdom and life experience to implement strategies to help you cope with the stress and anxiety in your life.

In these unprecedented times in our lives many of us are dealing with feelings of great uncertainty about our individual future and how to handle and cope with life changes. Repetitive thoughts are often aligned with anxiety. Anxiety has a cyclical pattern and unless it is interrupted it will run its course, causes overwhelming feelings of fear and despair. Through a compassionate and observational lens reducing stress and anxiety will cultivate focus and clarity. Learning to connect to our senses is very grounded and can quickly break the anxiety cycle and help bring us back to our own center. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Low levels of anxiety can motivate us to accomplish goals and perform at our best. As the level of experienced anxiety creeps higher, it robs us of our joy and can make us feel overwhelmed resulting in either inactivity or a compulsion to be overactive yet not experiencing any lasting relief. Our sense of internal peace and calm is replaced by perpetual overthinking and fear. Let's work together to gain insight into the root cause of your anxiety so that we are able to empower you to reclaim your experience of joy and a sense of internal calm.

Dealing with anxiety is difficult as it is the body's natural response to a perceived threat and that response, is unique to each individual and can often present itself as a sense of discomfort, emotional reactions, physical sensations, and unhelpful behavioural patterns. Your anxiety can be triggered through situational or environmental events and can often feel chronic. Schedule a free consultation to me to see if I am the right fit to help you manage your anxiety.
